Fresh Air

On Tuesday morning Lani came running in to me, all upset, telling me that she wanted to tell Daddy lots and lots of things. (Mick had obviously just left for work and Lani didn't want him to go.) I said maybe we could ring him later and she no that wouldn't do. So I said maybe we could go in and have lunch with him. She said 'yes, yippee that would be great!' So all morning she was talking about when we go in to see Daddy for lunch. Unfortunately I rang Mick and found out that he was on the Emergency list all day and therefore wouldn't get a lunch break, but he said it would be okay for us to pop in for a quick visit. So we packed our sandwiches and heading into town. Lani was very excited and so was Emily... okay, Emily wasn't so much - she fell asleep on the way in!   


We had to wait about half hour for Daddy to appear so we did some walking around, ate some of our sandwiches and took some photos to keep us entertained! 
 

Leilani was quite happy to show me some poses...




But not to keen on me mucking them up to jump in the photo with her!!


After about 20 minutes it started to rain so we went inside to walk the corridors. Emily then woke up, which gave Lani someone to play with, and a few minutes later Daddy appeared for a quick hello. Lani couldn't remember what she wanted to tell him but was quite excited to offer him a sandwich and a special biscuit! While we were there both Leilani and Emily's midwives walked past us - which was quite strange! (maybe its a sign!!)

 


We said goodbye to Daddy and headed into town to pick up a lay-by. The sun was out again so we decided to have a play at Kingston Beach on the way home.






Leilani and Emily both love the beach and would stay there all day if I could be bothered! Emily loved the seagulls and nearly walked in the water a few times chasing them! Lani just likes to dig and build! It was a busy, but relaxing day and nice to get away from the housework. I think that fresh-air is so important and can help us in lots of different ways. Especially just after winter - where we spend a lot of time indoors. I have had a lot on my mind this week, still do, but I'm sure that getting out in the fresh-air has helped me a lot, it clears your mind and helps you to think straight. I'm thankful that the wind finally stopped & the sun came out so that we could get outside and enjoy Tasmania's beautiful clean air.

oh that's so cute that lani forgot her special exciting message for Daddy (but she got a great day out for the sake of it!!)

Because everyday is different and we can't remember them all, I thought I had better start writing them down. Welcome to life in the Challis home - where everyday is different!
